Appetite for Behavioral Health Deals Continue to Grow

In 2021, PE investment in healthcare continued to both expand and become more sophisticated as firms look to position themselves on the right side of change in an industry that accounted for nearly 20% of US GDP in 2020.

Demand for behavioral healthcare providers has outgrown supply, especially in tertiary markets and underserved communities. The COVID-19 pandemic only increased this unmet demand as many struggled to cope with lockdowns, social isolation, and economic instability. In 2020, rates of alcoholism, substance use relapses, anxiety, and depression grew faster than historical trends.
